§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the outcome of the recent preliminary talks in connection with the renewal of the International Sugar Agreement.
§ Mr. GodberAt the first session of the United Nations Sugar Conference last month, the participating Governments had a useful exchange of views on the issues involved in the renegotiation of the International Sugar Agreement, in particular the foreseeable demand for imports from the world market, the range of world prices to be aimed at, the allocation of export quotas, and the balance310W between the rights and obligations of importing and exporting countries. I hope that the second session, which is due to be held from 10th September to 10th October, will result in the negotiation of a new agreement to enter into force from 1st January 1974.
